Answer:

Free men born in Athens

Step-by-step explanation:

These were the people who were considered citizens in Athens. Citizenship in Athens was restricted to a very specific group of people. First of all, a person would have to be male. Secondly, a person would have to be free-born (slaves were not considered citizens). Finally, a person would have to be Athenian, which would exclude foreigners. Nowadays, most countries tend to have a more inclusive definition of citizenship.
